Changes to the proposed Bayview fire station will be presented to the South Whidbey Fire/EMS commissioners Thursday night.

Almost a year after modifying original plans for two separate buildings at the Bayview site, located between Good Cheer Food Bank and Bayview School, Carletti Architects are scheduled to present their updated designs at 5:30 p.m. Sept. 11 at the Freeland station conference room.

The proposed station was estimated to cost $5.4 million, almost $1 million more than originally projected when the building was proposed several years ago. Administration space is slated to be on top of the fire station at the new location, moving the chiefs and secretaries from Freeland to Bayview, a more central location.

The Freeland fire station is located at 5535 Cameron Road, Freeland.
